SAN JOSE — A second fire in three months has scorched part of a vacant city-owned lot in downtown San Jose that is taking on an increasingly blighted appearance after multiple blazes.
The fire broke out in an abandoned residential structure on West St. John Street just around the corner from the SAP sports and entertainment complex in downtown San Jose.
